my mom (vent)
k, let me start from the beginning, as some of you know im no longer working, all i have at the moment is a little change in my savings account to take care of the main expenses, one is getting my car fixed soon.
We have a miniature schnauzer that goes in for grooming maybe twice a month at petsmart, now i personally dont like to take her to petsmart because they charge more, i usually take her to this little boutique in our neighborhood for alot less than what petsmart charges, same quality of grooming.
anyway My mom knows im out of work and things have been tight lately, she on the otherhand doesnt have a worry in the world, works full time for the city, makes serious bank as you all know from the shytload of cars ive told you she has.
a grooming fee is a drop in the bucket for her.
She tells me she is going to take her to petsmart last week, and wanted to know if i would have the money to pay for the grooming, i specifically told her that i cant afford to pay for grooming at petsmart and to take her to the other grooming place i go to.
what does she do? comes back a few hours later and hands me a bill from petsmart for $60!
so at this point im pissed and really wanted to tell her about herself but im pretty sure what i would have to say to her may come out the wrong way with a few curse words so i bite my tongue for the time being.
I give her all the change i had on me which was $40 at the time and tell her i will pay the rest later when i have it.
not even 3 days later shes on my ass about the $20, like its life or death if she doesnt get it back now. and im just looking at her like shes psycho, part of me thinks she really is.
this isnt the first time she’s pulled this with me, she went behind my back once and bought my son a bunchof school uniforms without telling me then handed me an $80 bill for it!
I seriously have to move far the hell away from her soon, feel like im gonna go off!
My mom and I have never had a really good relationship, most of our conversations center around my son and the dog. I love her for giving me life and all, but i do not like her as person.
as a person she is sneaky/manipulative/the first to smile at you then talk shyt behind your back as soon as you leave the room. traits i do not admire in a person.
right now i just deal with her because i live with her and i try to make peace until i move out soon, hopefully by may.
My mom’s anal about money issues too…

That’s horrible.. why is she trying to spend your money? And also, I don’t understand (the uniform story) why she can’t just pay for stuff for her GRANDKID especially if she’s making bank. Maybe it’s a generational difference? I don’t know, but hope things get better soon!

Wow, that’s just not right. Has she NEVER been broke in her whole life? Sorry, that was my own little vent. But anyway, yeah, cut her out of your life asap if she continues to pull crap like that. If she doesn’t like it, tough luck. She’ll have to deal with not being in your life until she truely understands what it’s like to not have a whole lot of money.
